Description
The Terrace House Dental Surgery is a villa dating from around 1838 to 1845, now used as a dental surgery. It is plastered with a two-span slate roof that is hipped at the ends and has stacks with dismantled shafts. The building is rectangular in plan and is situated high above St Marychurch Road.
The exterior features two storeys with deep eaves supported by paired moulded brackets, an eaves band, and a platband at the second-floor sill level. The symmetrical front has three bays, with two early 19th-century sash windows on the first floor, which still have their fascias from sunblinds, and a blind recess in the centre. The ground floor includes three French windows with high transoms and margin glazing. A five-bay verandah spans the front, supported by timber trellis uprights and topped with a glazed roof that has a fretted ogee fascia at the eaves. The front door is located on the right return and features a plain overlight. There is a flat-roofed 20th-century addition at the rear left. The interior has not been inspected but may retain interesting features.
